Keep hair off your neck with this fresh take on a typical bun. Smooth strands with an anti-frizz serum, then loop the top section of hair in an elastic at the high point of your head and the bottom section directly below, leaving the ends out.

Breeze from balmy day to night with an elegant yet relaxed updo: Weave a braid on each side of the front of hair, then wrap them together into a low bun. Finish by spritzing all over with a flexible hairspray to keep the style in place.
